1.80 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

There are moments when a gem feels less like an object and more like a living story, and this Colombian emerald carries that kind of story from the first glance. Born deep within the ancient soils of Colombia, where emeralds have been revered for centuries, this stone began its life in a slow alchemy of pressure and time. Miners working by hand found the rough crystal, a vivid green heart waiting to be revealed, and our team at The Natural Emerald Company followed the path from mine to market with care and respect. We documented its journey, verified its origin, and ensured that the crystal met the standards we cherish, transparency being one of them. The result is a transparent, 1.80 carat emerald, a piece that still breathes with the landscape that created it, carrying the quiet history of its place of origin and the human hands that brought it to light.

The cutting and finishing of this emerald are where nature and craft meet in perfect conversation. We chose an emerald cut to honor the stone's natural crystalline structure, and to create windows that reveal the depth and vivacity of its green color. The proportions are thoughtfully executed, with dimensions of 7.88 by 7.20 by 4.82 millimeters, and an excellent polish that allows light to enter and return with an elegant, steady glow. At eye level the clarity is graded slightly included, a characteristic that emerald connoisseurs prize for the way it testifies to authenticity and origin. These minor inclusions do not detract from the gem, they add personality, a fingerprint of the earth, and they sit comfortably within the stone so that its vivid color intensity remains the dominant impression. We apply standard enhancement, a gentle and widely accepted practice that stabilizes the gem and improves its clarity without compromising its natural beauty, and we always disclose this so that every buyer understands the full story of the stone.

When you imagine an engagement ring that will be worn every day and cherished for a lifetime, this emerald is an exceptional option. Emeralds have long been symbols of loyalty, renewal, and deep emotional resonance, and the rich, vivid green of this stone communicates passion and calm in equal measure. The emerald cut lends itself beautifully to many ring designs, from a refined solitaire that places the gem squarely at the center of attention, to an intimate halo that frames the green with a ring of sparkling accent diamonds, to a three stone setting where the emerald represents the present moment between past and future. This gem's size and presence are ideal for a ring that feels substantial and graceful on the hand, as you can see in photographs where the stone rests on the finger, its color acting like a jewel toned promise. We recommend warm metals such as 18 karat yellow gold for a romantic, classic look, and white metals such as platinum for a modern, high contrast aesthetic, and our craftsmen can suggest settings that protect the girdle and showcase the pavilion depth for both beauty and durability.

At The Natural Emerald Company we believe provenance and service matter as much as the gem itself, and we stand behind this emerald with transparent documentation and personal attention. We can provide detailed information about its Colombian origin, the nature of the enhancement, and the exact specifications that you see listed, and we offer bespoke setting services so that the ring you commission will be as unique as the love it celebrates. Caring for an emerald is a gentle ritual, avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals, clean with warm soapy water and a soft brush, and have routine checks to ensure the setting remains secure, these practices will keep the stone radiant for generations. If you want a piece that feels rooted in the earth and refined by skilled hands, a gemstone that tells a story of place, time, and human devotion, this 1.80 carat Colombian emerald is an exceptional choice for an engagement ring, and we at The Natural Emerald Company are honored to help you make that promise shine.
